Introducing Florescent

Have you found a perfume that is non-toxic, gentle enough for daily wear and smells heavenly? If that sounds like a tall order, I’d love to introduce you to Florescent botanical perfumes.

Florescent perfumes are 100% botanical and made from certified organic and wildcrafted essential oils and absolutes that are set into a base of organic grape alcohol. I created my perfumes with an alcohol base because I craved that beautiful, feminine ritual of spritzing a dash of perfume on before leaving the house. Organic grape alcohol is so gentle and soft smelling. It dissipates quickly and allows the full complexity of a fragrance—with all its subtleties and nuances—to come through better than a perfume oil. It’s also long-lasting. Florescent botanical perfumes are available as a spray or a roll-on, and you can order a Trial Kit to experience all three before choosing your favorite.

Pretty Bird has been my personal scent for a long time now. It’s the perfume I always wanted for myself and the one I reach for the most often. It’s a bright, warm and rosy fragrance with a soft spicy/woodsy finish. The scent opens with notes of sparkling bergamot—bright and happy—and is warmed by earthy rose undertones that settle into a comforting and cozy blend of sandalwood, frankincense and clove bud absolute. It’s a little tomboyish, and I liken it to slipping on your boyfriend’s cashmere sweater, which yields the perfect combination of feminine and masculine scents.

Sundays is a lush and honeyed floral with warm woody undertones. It’s balmy and rich but still gentle, and quite honestly it makes me feel a little tipsy with happiness. Jasmine has that narcotic affect on me, and Sundays is a combination of two types of Jasmine along with ginger lily, which creates a sultry, heady experience. The sense of euphoria that jasmine elicits is grounded by a little sandalwood and frankincense, which balances out the scent and gives it longevity. Unless you know that someone has an aversion to jasmine, Sundays is a true crowd-pleaser and makes a gorgeous gift.

Gâteaux takes most people by surprise, and it has the biggest range of the three perfumes. This garden floral begins with an herbaceous and fresh top note. Spearmint and rose geranium lead the charge, with fizzy bursts of blood orange alongside. This gives way to a soft and powdery finish, where orange blossom and tolu balsam, among other delicious botanicals, lend an elegant and slightly sweet note that lasts most of the day. Gâteaux reminds me of garden parties and teacakes—a little prim with a healthy dash of the wild and unruly.

Very exciting to see Florescent Perfume at Integrity Botanicals. I purchased the Gâteaux after trying the sample kit. I really like the other scents as well. I would love to own Sundays because of the beautiful jasmine scent. Thanks Terri and Susannah for this lovely giveaway

What an awesome giveaway—yay for “green” fragrance brands! I feel like finding an all-natural scent that meets/exceeds the scent of synthetic perfumes has been the most difficult thing in my transition to using all “green” beauty products. Would love to try Pretty Bird—the name alone!

Excited about this giveaway! Love how the green beauty world is expanding especially in perfumes! They all sound wonderful! However, Sundays has definitely caught my eye. I would love to throw away my toxic perfume to try florescent!

I am a perfume fiend and I have been wanting to find more all-natural fragrances. So far Satori is by far my favorite and it stays with me at all times. All of the florescent scents sound enticing, but I’d have to start with Sundays. I could use the jasmine pick-me-up!

Florescent perfumes sound gorgeous and lovely! I would love to try Sundays since I’m hooked on jasmine! With the additional hints of botanical musk and creamy gardenia, Sundays sounds absolutely perfect!

This is INCREDIBLE! So happy you see Susannah is doing this. Natural fragrances are definitely something missing in the green beauty community, so this is a fabulous launch! Win or lose I will need to get my hands on some!

I’d love to win Pretty Bird because, well, the notes just sound beautiful. Rose, citrus, and spice sounds match-made. I’m pretty sensitive to most perfumes, and Pretty Bird is the only one I’ve found, even natural perfume world, that does not contain migraine-triggering florals.

I am so excited by this new line as I have been craving more floral natural perfume, instead of the sweet vanilla tones I have already tried. They all sound lovely, but I think I would most likely try Gateaux!
